"O Queen of the Holy Rosary, Bless us as we pray and offer thee our roses, In garlands day by day, While from our Father's garden, With loving hearts and bold, We gather to thine honor, Buds white and red and gold."

Our Lady asked the children "Are you willing to offer yourselves to God and bear all the sufferings He wills to send you, as an act of reparation for the sins by which He is offended, and of supplication for the conversion of sinners? Jacinta, Francisco and Lucia replied "Yes". "Then you are going to have much to suffer, but the grace of God will be your comfort." May 13th, 1917

Our Lady spoke again "Pray the rosary every day in order to obtain peace for the world and the end of the war" May 13th, 1917.

"Pray, pray very much, and make sacrifices for sinners, for many souls go to hell because there is no one to sacrifice themselves and to pray for them." August 15, 1917
